Abstract excerpt
The objective of this study was to estimate variance components and genetic parameters for secondary sex ratio (SSR) in Iranian buffaloes. Calving records from April 1995 to June 2010 comprising 15,207 calving events from the first three lactations of 1066 buffalo herds of Iran were analyzed using linear and threshold animal models to estimate variance components, heritabilities and genetic correlations between...
